these
areas,
the inspection consisted

Based
on the results of this inspection, it appears
that. certain of your
activities were not conducted
in full compliance with NRC requirements,

1980.
You are required

With respect
to Item 3 of Appendix A, we note that you have taken the necessary
corrective
and followup actions prior to the
end of the inspection,
therefore,
you need not address yourself to this matter in your response.
In addition,
one activity appears
to be
a deviation
from the
FSAR commitment

Cabinets
as addressed
in
FSAR Section

Part III which documents
a "Static Seismic Analysis" performed to

implemen-
tation of your design control

taken or
planned to improve the effectiveness
of your design control
program.

areas
